The judge refused requests for the case to be heard behind closed doors, insisting that people had the right to see justice "at work".Parfenova, who first became a household name in Russia as a child star of the film Higher Than The Rainbow, speaks Russian, French and English. She said she might consider working as a personal assistant or estate agent.Stephen Trowell QC asked her: "Do you intend to work after today?" She replied that she was not, adding: " I will try to find a husband." ..
